Meet Mae! This lovable goofball is estimated to be 1-2 years old and is thought to be a Mastiff/Shar-Pei mix. Mae was found during a storm in Chicago and appears to have had puppies before her rescue. She has a distinctive facial structure that makes her look like a much larger dog, a slightly swollen nose that's just part of her charm, and the playful spirit of a giant puppy! Mae is a very affectionate girl who showers her people with kisses. She can get a little mouthy when excited, but it's all playful energy. She's done well with other dogs but prefers to live in a cat-free and bird-free home. While Mae adores children, her enthusiastic greetings could be a bit overwhelming for very young kids, so we recommend a home with older children. She's a great traveler in the car, is working on her leash manners, and is happy to sleep in her kennel. Just keep tempting treats like counter-top snacks out of reach! Mae is described as "klutzy with a developing brain" – she's a bit of a trip hazard to herself and gets hilariously excited about things like belly rubs! If you're looking for a polished, perfect pet, Mae might not be the one. But if you're searching for a hilarious, loving companion who will bring endless laughter into your life, Mae is waiting for you.
